My dad and I go in every week to check on the dogs there, if some are in bad condition, I complain about it until something's done.
I think that must be really tough, and I greatly admire that you're able to be strong enough to check on them and speak up about their care and so on. I'm more like Moose describes though and even though I'd like to volunteer at the shelter here I just can't get the courage up to face the dogs. I think I'd end up severely traumatized after I saw a few not get homes and end up PTS So I try to make up for it by donating money and items to the shelter whenever I can, and hope and pray it helps give some pup or kitty a second chance.
